So, I'd probably lean towards you staying where you are and look for rentals to buy with the $100k as a down payment.

The amount of cash flow on a home will of course be contingent on the down payment.

I wouldn't worry about the $1000 payment.

I've seen a situation two years ago where a new landlord had trouble evicting a tenant who was constantly late on payments because the tenant argued that the late payment terms in the lease had not been honored since the start of the lease and couldnt be suddenly enforced because of this. 

Traveling in Malta and now in Florence Italy for new years.  About an 8 hour time difference but our alarm systems are 24/7.  Got an alarm the other night.  Called our local sheriff department.  They called back about...

Instead of moving into another single-family home, consider house hacking a duplex or triplex, this allows you to use low down payment loans (FHA, conventional) and offset your mortgage with rental income, accelerating your path to financial freedom.

@Robert StephensonIf you have enough equity in your primary or rental you can get a HELOC or HELOAN and use the proceeds as a down payment to buy another rental.

Together, we have over $200K (mostly in stock market investments), and our parents may help with the down payment.

If you decide to keep your house, you can do an IRRRL after you have made at least 7 payments on your new mortgage.

If you don't want that, I would sell it or put it into storage (which may not be financially feasible), but long-term renters are hard on furniture that is not theirs.
